Chapter 120: Custody (1st Update)

On the morning of the second day after returning from the Jin Palace, Meng Yuqing's mother and daughter returned to the Zhou Mansion, and An Ruolan relied on it for two more days before being sent back to the Wenxin Mansion by Qiao's family.

was sent back to the Hou Mansion with An Ruolan, as well as a lot of jewelry and toys, tonic medicinal materials, including those sent by Meng Yuyan when she left the Jin Palace, as well as those sent by Mrs. Meng and An Ruolan's uncles and aunts, and even many cousins sent her some small jewelry, everyone knows that after this while, it will not be so easy to meet again.

An Ruolan can be said to have returned with a full load.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, the first thing I did was naturally to go to the old lady to say goodbye.

The old lady hugged her granddaughter, who she hadn't seen for a few days, and was very tired of it for a while, and then she talked to Qiao's, who didn't mind, and was very respectful to this cousin.

While the adults were talking, An Ruolan went back to the room to change clothes, An Ruojin and the others heard that she was coming back today, and waited in her room early in the morning, and the sisters met and laughed again, and then An Ruolan went to ask Meng Shi for peace.

Qiao's also brought gifts to the door, she first handed over the gift list on behalf of Meng Guofu to the old lady, and then gave the old lady the gift list that everyone had sorted out and everyone gave to An Ruolan.

The old lady was reluctant to accept An Ruolan's share at first, saying that it should be handed over to the Meng family, but Qiao's smiled and said: "Sister Lan now lives in Yirong Garden, food and clothing are here, and naturally it should be placed here for play, and this is what my mother meant." ”

This was indeed confessed by Mrs. Meng.

Hearing this, the old lady lowered her head and glanced at the objects listed on the list, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt in her heart, where is this usually used for play? Even if Sister Lan is used as a dowry in the future, it will be made, and I think that such things will be sent over one after another in the future.

She instantly understood what the old sister meant.

Meng's "generosity", everyone knows, that is a bottomless pit, how many things can be consumed, just from the fact that she gave the best coral bracelet to An Ruoxian for no reason, you know that she can't control these things. Not to mention Meng's own dowry, it is the reward gift that Sister Lan has received during the New Year's Festival over the years, and I am afraid that she has almost consumed it - the whole Hou Mansion knows that the maid and wife of Xinyue Yuan are the richest, and the fifth lady will be rewarded from time to time.

It seems that the old sister is worried that the Meng family will not be able to take out Sister Lan's dowry in the future, so she wants to put things here for her.

Obviously, she understood, but the old lady still didn't dare to accept these things lightly.

Can she promise not to be greedy, but outsiders will believe it?

First of all, Meng Shi would not believe it, and when she thought of Meng Shi's style, she did not dare to agree.

Once she responds, there will inevitably be someone who chews the root of her tongue, saying that she is strong and domineering, directly surpassing her daughter-in-law, and even greedy for her granddaughter's money, which she dare not bear.

This is undoubtedly a hot potato, you can't take it, you can't take it, but you can't do it.

It's not that the Hou Mansion can't take out such things, it's just that the meaning is completely different, and the married girl can add makeup to herself, which is extremely dignified, and outsiders have to take a look at it.

After hesitation, between reputation and granddaughter, the old lady still chose the latter.

She sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll take it." ”

After that, he handed the list to Mama Song on the side, and asked her to put it away in a low voice.

As for whether Meng can add makeup to Sister Lan in the future, she can't control it.

Seeing this, Qiao's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said that Sister Lan had a good grandmother, she said: "My cousin is Sister Lan's grandmother, and it is legitimate to keep the jewelry for Sister Lan. ”

The thing came from Meng Guofu, and with Mrs. Meng's words, it was really justified for the old lady to accept these.

Although she has the determination to withstand criticism, with these words, the old lady is still a lot more relieved.

After this conversation, the old lady became a little closer to Qiao's and left her to have lunch with her, but Qiao's did not refuse, and she was happy to respond.

On the other hand, An Ruolan arrived at Xinyue Garden, and it was no surprise that she saw An Ruoxian, who was "sick", but she didn't want Xue to be there, but she was surprised by her snacks.

"Say hello to my mother, my daughter is back." She smiled and looked at Meng Shifu, who was sitting on the kang and reading a book.

Meng Shi looked indifferent, only glanced at her, and said, "I'm back." The slender white fingertips pinched the corner of the page, a little tight, as if they were enduring something.

An Ruolan didn't care, Meng didn't ask her to sit, so she didn't sit, she stood and asked, "Is my mother better?" ”

In fact, there is no need to ask, as soon as she looks at her mother's ruddy face, she knows that her mother's body is fine, at least, it is much better than Aunt Jiu.

This question was like a switch that touched the bottom of Meng's heart, she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and said coldly: "Do you remember that your mother is sick?" ”

An Ruolan pretended not to understand the cynicism in her words, and said with a faint smile: "I naturally remember that my daughter has been worried for a few days, and now that she sees her mother's good complexion, she is finally relieved." ”

She's telling the truth, but no one will believe it.

An Ruoxian sneered at hypocrisy in her heart, and then smiled sweetly: "Sister Lan, I heard that you brought a lot of treasures back, but I don't know where they are?" My sister can't wait to open her eyes! ”

Today, An Ruolan returned home, and Meng also sent someone to the front to inquire about the news, yes, An Ruolan brought a lot of rewards back to the house, and Meng also knew, naturally, An Ruoxian, who had been following her, also listened.

To say that An Ruoxian has been really aggrieved in the past few days.

She originally planned to find an excuse to leave the mansion in the past few days to work with several uncles, but she didn't want Mrs. Meng to say a word, so she pushed the errand of "serving the sick" on her, so that she had to stay in the Hou Mansion honestly.

If the mother is really sick, it is not bad for her to accompany her to ask for a favor, but the problem is that the mother is not sick at all!

The mother was not sick, and her filial piety naturally appeared nowhere.

In the past few days, because she pretends to be sick and inconvenient to go out, she either follows her mother to read in the room every day, or is asked by her mother to practice calligraphy, and most of the time, her mother doesn't pay much attention to her, she is doing her own thing, but when her mother ignores her, she can't leave at will, you can imagine how depressed she is.

can't sell well, and she can't get out of the house, so she has to help Xue's brush her mother's favorability, and the feeling of retreating to the second best makes her feel terrible. Fortunately, the Xue family is fighting for anger and has initially gained the closeness of his mother.

Because of this, she made another note to An Ruolan, and now that An Ruolan is finally back, she naturally has to find something unhappy for An Ruolan, otherwise she will really feel uncomfortable.

Hearing this, An Ruolan just glanced at An Ruoxian lightly and did not answer.

However, Meng Shi came to his senses, his attitude was kinder, and he said softly: "You child is really, your grandmother loves you so much, why are you embarrassed to ask her for a reward?" ”

And said as a matter of course: "Since Xian'er is curious, you can bring it to her to take a look, and you will also send it over after a while, and let your mother keep it for you." ”

She also took it for granted, after all, the rewards her daughter received in the past were all received by her.

Today, however, is different.

An Ruolan didn't nod when she heard this, but said with a smile: "If Sister Ruoxian is really curious, then hurry up and go to Yirong Yuan to take a look, while Grandmother hasn't sent things to the warehouse yet." ”

Meng's face sank, what did he mean by this?

An Ruoxian frowned, her intuition was not good.

Seeing that the two of them suddenly changed their faces, An Ruolan smiled slightly, and explained unhurriedly: "My grandmother was worried that her daughter would not be able to take care of so many valuables, so she entrusted her grandmother to keep them for her daughter, and said that her daughter is now living in Yirong Yuan, and her grandmother is in charge of things, and it is more convenient for her daughter to take them." ”

The implication is that things will not be sent to Xinyueyuan.

On the way back to the Hou Mansion a long time ago, Qiao's told An Ruolan what Mrs. Meng meant, and the old man was mainly worried that An Ruolan would not agree, after all, how filial An Ruolan was to Meng's in the past, everyone could see it clearly, and Mrs. Meng even instructed Qiao's that if An Ruolan did not agree, he would still give things to Meng's for safekeeping.

An Ruolan naturally agreed.

She still remembers how sad she was on the eve of her marriage in her previous life.

At that time, her mother couldn't take out a decent thing to add makeup to her, she didn't blame her mother, she only hoped that she had placed the jewelry objects in her mother since she was a child, but she didn't want to, those had already been taken by her mother to give her favors, if it weren't for the fact that her grandmother and grandmother quietly made up for her part of the dowry that should have been paid by her mother, I am afraid she would have become the laughing stock of Quan Shengjing.

But even so, she never complained about her mother at that time, and even, after getting married, she used a lot of silver to supplement her mother, although she knew that her mother used her silver to buy a dowry for An Ruoxian.

It's just that she didn't expect that the result of her digging out her heart and lungs was that her family was ruined, and her mother's sentence was taken for granted.

I'm afraid there is no one in this world who is more stupid and blind than her.

With such an experience in her previous life, where would she have reason to disagree?

She also wants to be able to be beautiful when she gets married in the future, and no longer face the same dilemma as in her previous life.

It was because of her consent that Qiao Shi would not hesitate to hand over the things to the old lady.

Meng's face became more and more ugly, but this matter was what her mother meant, and now that the things were in the hands of her mother-in-law, with these two mountains pressing, she was just dissatisfied, and she couldn't say a word more.

Meng Shi admits that she doesn't value things outside her body, she is just dissatisfied with her mother and mother-in-law's practice of treating her as a wolf, it is a matter of course for her to keep her daughter's private room, what right do the two old people have to deprive her of her rights?

Decide without asking, she can't swallow this breath!

But what if you can't swallow it? She didn't have the courage to go to her mother's and mother-in-law's theories.

Sweeping her gaze to her daughter standing in front of her, she found an outlet for her resentment and anger.

Suppressing his anger, Meng Shi tried his best to be indifferent and calm, and said calmly: "Mother doesn't value those things outside the body, since your grandmother is willing to take care of it for you, Mother is happy and relaxed, but-"

She raised her voice suddenly, changed her words, and said sharply: "Xian'er has served your mother for a few days instead of you, and you thank her like this?!" ”R1152
